Senator Costa attacks Senator Primm for having six family members dead of cancer.

"I feel somebody in the senate is using a very sensitive matter to myself and to other senators to further their own political agenda," said Student Action Senator Cliff Costa, referring to fliers posted around campus with a picture of Aloha Independence Senator Kris Cuaresma-Primm and a caption reading "Six Members of my Family Died of Cancer."

The flier promotes "Relay for the Cure," an event that Primm is organizing at UC Berkeley.

"This is a very important issue to me and my family" Primm said, adding there was a miscommunication in production, and the fliers in question were being taken down.

The idea that Senator Primm is using family cancer deaths to further his own probable rerun for the Presidency pretty much tests the farthest bounds of sick. Senator Costa had to look at the picture, consider what he knew about Senator Primm, and conclude that this was a deliberate political tactic designed to win elective office in April.

It's probably a sign that no one takes Senator Costa seriously anymore that this charge passed without too much comment.
